Hair Loss & Replacement Blog

I am a member of hair club for men (wigs, toupee, etc).

If a new "friend" asks me in front of several others if I am bald, how should I respond?

My basic premises are: this is personal; this is humiliating; this is "low" tactic.

Some options I considered:

1. Accept it eventhough I am hurt, offended, and want to slap the person.

2. Accept it and inform the person that I am hurt and offended and that he/she should put himself/herself in my situation. Ask if he/she would ask that same question publicly if a person has breast implant or penile implant.

3. Tell the person that he/she is inappropriate, uncultivated, improper, vicious, etc (give me some more vocabs). That is attack a little.

4. Tell the person that he/she is "whatever" that is appropriate to that person (fat, stupid, short, ugly, etc). That is fire for fire.

5. Deny it and see how long I can get away with it.

6. Joke about it somehow?

Are there any NATURAL people in this world that feel confident and beautiful w/o all of this b.s. such as:
1.) Skin Bleaching Creams/ (deliberately) Tanning.
2.) Hair Weaves/Perms/Dyes/Implants.
3.) Make-up/ Cosmetic & Oral Sugery/ Microderms.
4.) Implants & Butt/Breast inhancing garments.
5.) False finger and toe-nails.
6.) Liposuctions.
7.) And, now, Wide Anime eyes?!

I’m not talking about "putting on clothes" or "batheing" or something…(because I know some one would try to compare it to that), but I just would to see if there are any natural people like me.

‘F U’ your question has been deleted so i can’t anwser it, but thank you for answering mine.

Thank you ALL for your answer! CAKE FOR EVERYONE!

So I don’t like my hair very much. Blah. I still take care of it with my shampoos, and it’s not that I HATE my hair, it’s just I don’t like how it fits with my look. I’ve tried styling it, having it styled; my hair does not fit my face. I try, but whatever. I’m really into wigs.

Before you comment on me WANTING to wear a wig, it’s not bad if it’s realistic. Also, people wear padded bras? People wear coloured contacts? People do spray-on tans? I’m not wanting to do it for the sake of looking good for others; I’m doing it for ME. I want to look a certain way, that would make me happy. Confidence is good, yes?

So anyways. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m buying one top-quality wig (seriously. Best there is *u* http://cyperous.com/english/index.html) and I’ll stick to it.

I just have one question. And I swear this is the last one, about hair, I promise <333

How do I tell someone it’s a wig? I don’t want to make a joke out of it, though I don’t really care. If they ask, I will flat-out tell them, but how? Should I just say what I said up there? And one more thing. If someone, let’s say an enemy at school, tries to/succeeds in pulling it off. What would you do? Keep calm and make a joke about it? It would be feeding right into them if I got angry, huh?

I lied. One last thing. I want to wear the wig for personal-appearance-confidence only; if I’m doing a sport or something, should I take it off, or treat the wig like real hair and pull it up?

Thanks to the others who helped me before on past two questions, already chose best answer o:

And one more thing? You’re free to post your opinions here, but no, "OMFG U R WARING A WIG HOW CAN U LIV WITH URSELF????///////" Because, really? How fncked up are you? Not nearly enough as me, but still….;]

And think about what I wrote earlier, calling someone who wears a wig a fake, tell that to the people who ACTUALLY destroy their bodies, hormonal pills to make their c-ck bigger or getting implants; I’m doing this for me, and that’s all that matters. Everyone else, BLAM, see ya next tuesdays!
Morgan and Silver, thank you two so much. Both of your answers made me smile, Silver’s yours made me giggle; Morgan, I like the idea of putting it on someone and throwing it at people. I’d feel much more confident putting a thick, black wig on my Lebanese male friend XD

Did you like the Heather vs. Daisy fight??

No amount of makeup, hair color, breast implants or clothing can improve Heather’s look. She still looks like a man.

Heather did not kick Daisy’s azz – If you watch the video, the guy was holding Daisy’s arms at her side so she couldn’t fight back. Heather only hit her on the head a couple of times.

Heather is very jealous of Daisy because:
Heather probably wanted Daisy all for herself
Daisy is MUCH younger than Heather
Daisy has a much better body than Heather
Daisy is prettier than Heather by comparison
Daisy made the comment to Heather that Daisy & Bret "did it" many times

Amber is so phony. There is nooooooo way anyone believes she is 31 like she said she was, she doesn’t even look 37 – maybe 45.

Is so how would it work?Would it be by this way extracting a blonde/blue eyed fetus from parts of Europe i.e Northern Spain, Normandy France, Czech Rep. etc, and to implant those genetic traits to the mestizo’s pregnant individual unborn fetus or embryo?

By the way I’m a castizo(mixed euro/Spaniard+Mestizo"euro/indian=Castizo hispanic.
Oh another thing would it cause mutation or other genetic defeats that would lead to such as birth defects or other genetic or chromsomal diseases?

Im feelin a little ranty right now. Im soooo sick of those girls who say things like " im 90000% real , i couldnt get any realer if i tried , i hate fakes , and i tell it like it is" blah blah fucking blah. to me , its the most irritating thing in the world. They constantly call other girls "fake" for getting breast implants , or hair extensions or color contacts, which makes them sound like complete morons, HAVING A "FAKE" APPEARANCE DOESNT MAKE THE PERSON FU*CKIN*G FAKE. Dumbass. and then they have the audacity to go around and complain about haters and drama EVEN THOUGH they triggered possibly alllll the drama just by making comments on another persons appearance. If youre like this my message to you is: Mind your own fuc*k*ing business and focus on yourself because im pretty damn sure youre not perfect either. and i apologize , im just so so angry right now and i wanted to get other peoples opinion on this.
this is my first time ranting ,

She shows her naked fake body parts in photos.
Her hair is bleached.
Her skin is faux-tanned.
Her chest is implants.
She poses for photos with her butt up in the air.
She travels around the country pushing an agenda.
She claims she is a chronic "victim" of prejudice even though she is a millionaire and won 2nd place in the largest beauty contest in the USA.

Why can’t Christian Fundamentalists see their own "flamboyance" and always accuse gays of being so?

In February, 2002, each episode of "Becker" was typcially seen in 8.3 Million homes, while each episode of the "Simpsons" was seen in 7.5 million homes. Your marketing services firm has been hired to promote Bald No More Inc.’s, hair replacement process by buying at least 30 commercial spots during the episodes of "Becker and "The Simpsons". The cable company running "Becker" has quoted a price of 00 per spot, while the cable company showing "The SImpsons" has quoted 00 per spot. Bald No More’s advertising budget for the commercials is ,000, and it would like no more than 50% of the total number of spots to appear on "The SImpsons". How many spots should you purchase on each show to reach the most homes?

I started by defining the variables:
x=Spots on Becker
y=Spots on The Simpsons

then isolated the min/max equation: H=8.3x+7.5y

then tried to figure out the other equations:
Price: 2000x+1500y≤70,000
Total spots: x+y≥30
then the third equation is the part i get stuck on.
I tried y≤.5x but that didn’t work.

Can someone help me out with the equations to set up the problem? I’ll do the rest. Thanks!

For those who have tried/use any of these things, what are your thoughts on…
- the Non-Surgical Bio-Matrix Hair Replacement System
- Wigs
- Over the counter topical treatments
- Steroid injections

I have tried the topical treatments and injections, which don’t work for me. I am currently looking at the non-surgical bio-matrix replacement system because wigs would not work too well for me since I spend a lot of my time doing sports and in the ocean..
Also, how are you coping with it? My hair has recently started to get worse over the past couple of weeks and I have become a hermit not going out in public anymore.

Also, don’t tell me those stupid things like "you are beautiful no matter what!" or "embrace who you are and don’t be afraid!" I’m not retarded. I am a human being with a self-esteem and alopecia is a reality and I can’t change my confidence and view just over night like that.

And yes, the lead singer, Jamie St. James does look like the bastard child of Bette Midler and Dee Snider

A lil trivia for you. Their guitarist, Thommy Thayer (guy playing the Les Paul), not only help produce the Kiss Documentary "When Kiss uled The World" but he was/is also Ace’s replacement and now wears Ace’s make up when Kiss tours

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for someone with maybe some grooming experience or someone that is familiar with the product I am talking about.

My poor Pomeranian’s coat has been completely compromised by a too short buzz cut resulting in what I have heard refered to as "clip alopecia". Basically, his whole mid section has nothing but VERY short, frizzy fur and numerous bald spots. His coat is not growing back. It has been over a year now and this is as good as its going to get for him at this point.

I have been trying to find out if there is any way of reversing the damage and possibly get his coat to grow back even if it never gets as beautiful as it was prior to the clipping incident. In my searching I came across something called Megatek by Eqyss. I have never seen this before or heard of it prior to now but from what I am reading, it seems to be a fairly successful product used for coat restoration and rebuilding in animals. Supposedly it stimulates hair regrowth and works well on bald spots and all that. My question is, has anyone ever tried this on their dog and does it really work? And could this possibly work to help reverse the damage from the bad hair cut for my Pom or would it not work for a problem of this nature?

Thanks in advance!

Well…I’ve been watching the Christians for a while. They have led themselves to believe that God and the Holy Spirit are (is) constantly paying specific attention to them. They even believe that God likes to have a preacher slam them in the head and knock them to the ground. WHAT??? I label this sort of nonsense as psychological hype. You can make yourself believe anything if you dwell upon it, or repeatedly state it. Sexuallity is a huge issue in religion as well as in our current society. I have noticed that the attractive Christians drop there pants as much as the non-believers. Not a good testament. This tells me that there is absolutely something false with this system. I have also noticed that the believers will only go as far as what suits their convenience. So….I know that we should only look to God, since the humans will always let you down. However…if you are going to judge a club…you must examine the members. You would not join a hair restoration club when all of the members are bald would you? As far as I can see…most of the Christians are bald. Why should I wish to join such a club? Can you show me how this is not all psychological hype?

I believe in God, but am rapidly losing faith in "Christianity".

2 decades in a Baptist Church.

If Jesus is so powerful, why can the "Christians" not conform?
So…Scotgirl… you have just explained that having Jesus in my life is ineffective as far as me conquering my fleshly desires. So why would I want to join? I will fail regardless. How does that make me different from those who do not believe?

Whenever a human is deciding to join a club, they need to look at the people who are involved. For instance, if a bald man is joining a hair restoration program, he will likely not pay the fee if all of the members are still bald. So….when choosing to become a Christian…one needs to look at or judge the people involved with this club. The Christian club is a mess, yet we are constantly bombarded with the "thou shalt not dare to judge me" from the members of this very messy club. Hard to join.

What do you think about assessing and judging this club?
Kristin…I have spent 20 yrs. in a Baptist environment. I know some tremendously incredible humans. I also know some tremendously incredible Catholic people. I have deduced that the denomination has NOTHING to do with the individual. It is individual. Some are good like yourself…exhibited by your simple answer…the majority are still rotten. For yourself Kristin, it would not matter where or when you were born, or by whom you were raised, you would still be the wise Kristin. What do you think about that?

I’ve read countless threads about this subject however mine is a little different…

I am in my best friend’s wedding and I am thrilled to pay for whatever she needs help with it.
My cousin (groom) is also getting married and one of the bridesmaid’s dropped out. My cousins’s fiance asked me to step in because the dress was already ordered. I explained that I am in another wedding two weeks after hers yet she insisted and begged me. I expressed that it would be really hard for me, yet she still insisted.I finally accepted, thinking or maybe assuming I was doing her a favor. Big mistake.

So, now, 3 weeks before the wedding, I am being asked to pay for 0 dress (which is a size 0 i wear a 4, but the dress wa already ordered remember??), shoes, hair and makeup, for a bridal shower and for a lame "Bridesmaid" tank top.

I ask you, should a replacement bridesmaid have to pay for this crap?

How do I convince my mom to let me bleach my back hair and mustache in a month? See I don’t get along good with my mom , we have our moments but u see she is Philipino which makes me half that and american and my dad’s side is naturally hairy and I have brown hair but I have a mustache that is slightly black and a hairy back

but i have a really low self esteem i have pretty big boobs for a fifth grader – going on sixth- i wear shirts that say funny things which makes boys stare at my boobs and this morning my art teacher read my shirt and raised his eye brows. i mean i guess im ok but if my stache was less noticable i could be pretty. my friend has a naturally blonde stache. and would i look weird with brown hair and a blonde stache the kids at school call it busch and this guy thinks im really a dude in disguise and he said i got breast implants and when im talking to my friends he’s all " you 2 flirting? " so yeah sry its so long……

My colorist decided to become a full time Mom so I’m without a good hair colorist and I live in a very rural area. The lady who replaced my colorist never has my brand or color on hand and the last time she colored my hair she had me come back the next day for a "do-over". My old colorist told me she used Matrix 5 which is a med brown and the 20 Vol Developer. She was very uncomfortable giving me the info as she does not want to undercut her replacement nor does she want to be responsible for me messing my hair up. She recommended I take the color and developer to the replacement colorist and let her do my hair … which I DO NOT want to do. So, my question is .. what is the ratio of color:developer for Matrix products and is an overall color achievable at home without disastrous results?
I want to color my hair at home using the Matrix system which I’ve paid a fortune for in salons. What is the ratio of color to developer?

i bought this fake nail box on sale w/o glue…i thought i had extra glue so i bought it

Ive been to that TSroadmap site, but their budget approximation includes things like hair removal and implants. a ton of surgery is included in the cost lets just say.

so how much would it cost for just the hormone therapy? I hear its "relatively inexpensive" but I ave no clue what that means.

hi,
well my, now ex, boyfriend made me very self conscious, i have fair skin/dark hair/dark eyes. he would always make comments about how i should dye my hair blonde, or get colored contacts, or get breast implants.

why is this "i’ll soon be bald from over-dying and i want skin cancer" look even what’s considered the standard of beauty lately? this is what’s wrong with people. no wonder why little girls as young as 11 worry about how they look.
boozette jones- how did i insult blondes? i didn’t. i said that i hate how the media thinks beauty is only blonde hair and tan skin. stop trying to look for something to get mad at
for the record, i have absolutely nothing against blondes/tan people.
BUT i do have something against spending a fortune dying your hair/fake tanning, just because the media leads us to believe that that’s the only way they’ll be accepted and considered attractive.

I’m 33 yr old. I used to have a baby doll (not barbie doll) that had long hair that could be cut and styled. The back of the doll opened where the replacement hair could be slid through the top of the head, and down through the back and latched, so you could cut, cut, style till there was no more hair left, then just repalce.

I’m thinking it would have been mid 80’s. I’m trying to find 1 for my daughter. I do not like barbie, and bratz, but that is the only dolls i can find with the "cut-n-style" option. Thanks!

I am all the things I mentioned (middle aged, badling, overweight). I have always been jealous of guys who just seem to attract hot looking women. They seem confident and successful and I am more like a "wall flower". So I wonder if it is even possible for a guy like me to ever be considered sexy. I would love to , just once in my life, walk down the street and know that women are checking me out. That would be the greatest feeling in the world. I would definetly appreciate any advice or suggestions you could offer me (and I know they will include lose weight, dress stylishly, get hair implants, etc.) Thanks and I hope to get some answers.

what is the name of the hair product that comes on late at night by a famous hair stylist that is supposed to restore your hair and name it silky smooth . im tryng to find it online but can thnk of the name something w a "W" i think
anyone know

Ok so I got my "lucious lockes" buzzed off on June 14th and now still… my hair is very very very short How can I make it grow back faster? I am open for pretty much everything except implants, extensions, or a wig.. LoL… but yea any advice? I will award best answer! (O I am a 16 year old teen boy 2, if that makes a difference or not)

Im not balding but I have natrally curly/frizzy hair and im always straightening it every two weeks..I was wondering if there was some sort of hair replacement surgery I could get to change the texture of my hair..I’d love to go swimming without having to control the poof just once in my life..I heard Janet Jackson had it done..

Please dont give me the "accept yourself speech" I will not listen, you will be wasting your time..You have no idea what my hair is really like..If u dont have the answer…Dont answer

I always felt sorry that Chavo was losing his hair so young, but then he semi-retired for awhile and "Bam" he’s got a great looking head of hair, and trust me is was not Rogaine
